hi guys not sure if this is the right place to post tech issues on stageas and if it isnt could you please direct me but the problem i have is my poor stag (97' S1 AUTO) and started "lurching" when i get into 5th gear usually on the freeway but when i give it a little more gas and it drops down a gear it runs fine again. its almost like a rocking movement as if the gears arent quite biting properly, and slowing do to come up to intersections or round-abouts she'll sometimes stall/turn off... also when i do a full steer lock and reverse, i get a kind of faint knocking sound from the rear somewhere and its a lot louder if the snow / 4WD button is on...does this sound like my tranny is about to give up the ghost?-any advice would be a big help ay-cheers!

Hey All, :)

Had my 2000 S2 RS4 for about 2 months now, freaking love it! :D

Random question here: out of the two options MV automatics shift kit, or just plugging the box... What are the pro's / cons from each option?

Also, is the Auto adaptive? Been making the most out of 1st quite a lot lately and now it holds first for a few weeks on about 20% throttle, which gets a bit annoying when trying to be sensible :( Any suggestions would be appreciated, Will take a look this weekend and see if I can find anything.

Also: I am chasing an exhaust/turbo/other parts, so if anyone here has stuff for sale that I might find useful and they want to get rid of them :) Let me know.

cheers,

Brendan.

Never mind, going to build a 26 up whilst keeping it pretty stock, may as well do a worthwhile mod :)

SAD NEWS!! I found out Today that Steve Hobby has died. For those that knew him this is very sad news. He was a very likeable guy. He owned an Autech 260. His skyline name was Oteku260. This run on the 13th will be to his memory. I have no other details of his passing as yet. He died on or close to 5th April 2012. Our thoughts are with his family.

hi guys,

i did not really notice that the 13th of may will be mothers day.

due to this i will be moving the date of the cruise.

i think there will be conflict of interest on this day. so less people will show.

extending it for another week means that we have enough time to prepare and vacant our weekend for this cruise in memory of Steve Hobby (oteku260).

if this has been a bit of an inconvenience to you, i sincerely apologize.

i hope we can all make it on this as im really keen to put faces into names and meet more stagea owners as im new to the scene.

so here it is..

SUNDAY 20th May 2012.

    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below 
    • engine wise almost no mods: stock ecu Greddy front mount intercooler Greddy forward facing intake w R33 TB stock fuel system, stock injectors, rail etc. Kakimoto racing hyper 3 inch exhaust system Apexi intake filter New NGK –R BCPRES (.8 gap) plugs  
    • Nice one @Pac - looks like a fair few 1600's there!
